Change the world

I've been thinking about this for a while now. Is it possible for one person to change the world?

There are those that say no. Yet it has been done over and over again. One person invented a light bulb and the world was changed.

One person wrote a book that began the rethinking of a nation to outlaw slavery.

One tired person, refused to give up her seat on a bus and it changed a nation.

I did a Google search on "changed the world" and the people, pictures, events, whatever, that came up were endless. Some seemed really big but most were more like the examples above. One person, tired or unknowingly, did something that forced others to take notice.

So I started wondering; can one person do something that really could change the world? I believe the answer is yes. Now the adventure is on to see it happen. My plan is to stay steady in the battle God has placed me in. To not give up. I was reading something recently that said to "love God and others in risky ways". Imagine how the world would change if everyone did that. The possibilities are endless.

There is One who showed us how to do that. Not only did He die for our sins but He left Heaven and all that means behind to come to earth in human form. Knowing how we would treat Him and the pain He would need to endure. One Man changed the world. It doesn't matter if you are Christian, Muslim, or don't believe in God at all. That one Person, changed human history forever. For those that are Believers, history was not only thing changed. For them, their eternal destiny also changed.

So my challenge to you is to love someone in a risky way today! Take a chance that takes you out of your comfort zone. Who knows...you may never be the same. Who knows...the world might never be the same.

very good thoughts. You don't have to be "special" to make a difference in any way or to any one. Love you,Mom
